Verdict

PIZZA PRINCE (3) is close to a win after going under narrowly in his last two outings here, leading and fighting well both times. Draws lower than when nosed out last start so could break through. IKIGAI (10) showed improvement when she finished third last start at this venue. Should be at peak fitness so is capable of playing a major role. INSTANT DELIGHT (1) goes up in grade but gets the ace draw and was good in coming from wide for a last-start win by 1.2 metres. DARCYS FIREBALL (8) draws for a trail and could be ready to win again after placing in his last two outings.
